OSS 117: Lost in Rio

The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick
6.6/10
A goalkeeper is sent off during a game for committing a foul. He spends the night with a cinema cashier, whom he afterwards kills. Although a type of detective film, it is more slow moving and contemplative than other films of the genre. It explores the monotony of the murderer's existence and, like many of Wenders' films, the overwhelming cultural influence of America in post-war West Germany.
Tod auf der Insel
6.2/10
Hauptmann Kreutzer
6.6/10
Une clinique au soleil
Schon wieder Henriette

Concerned about his son's lack of machismo, the father arranges a tryst between Maurice and Nora, an aging femme fatale. Unfortunately Nora's jealous husband suddenly interrupts their romantic interlude. Maurice accidently kills the husband in the ensuing scuffle. United by the tragedy, Nora and Maurice eventually fall in love. Maurice is then inspired to become a great fighter.
Kommissar Marthaler - Engel des Todes
6.9/10
In a cold-blooded attack on an art transport Tereza, the pregnant girlfriend of Commissioner Robert Marthaler, is mortally wounded. Since Marthaler is thus affected by the incident himself, his boss Herrmann denied him the appropriate investigation. However, Marthaler does not let it stop him and continues to investigate on his own. He soon finds out that there seems to be a connection between the current assault and an unexplained prostitute murder more than 30 years ago.
